  • Needs a producer

    These guys have some good knowledge about the history of the club and have good access to players and coaches now which serves to their advantage. That said. The show is too long A lot of rambling, some truly corny sound effects that come in too late and have to be explained. A good producer to help wrangle the show could improve it.

  • Um um um um

    I do like the inside information these guys update us with on the club. I just find it very distracting that Mike being a rep reporter uses “Um” so freaking much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wherever You Will Go / Ep 552 / Blue City Radio
Q: Christian, your thoughts on the first half and how the defense held up against a Nashville attack.
Christian Smith noted that while Nashville controlled possession in the first half, NYCFC's back line and Freese kept things tight, with miscommunications limited in the end and the team focusing on maintaining shape and defending as a unit.
Words / Ep 548 / Blue City Radio
Q: What was the rationale behind Nico playing with Luigi instead of Benny Traore in the match?
The coach stressed that Nico could connect with all attackers and that Luigi's progression and minutes were prioritized to maximize immediate impact, with Benny not fully fit yet.
Doctor, My Eyes / Ep 537 / Blue City Radio
Q: What went wrong defensively in the DC United game?
The panel attributes the goals to defensive miscommunications on set pieces, cross denial failures, and players not reading long throws effectively, along with a lack of predatory defending in the box.
Hungry Like The Wolf / Ep 538 / Blue City Radio
Q: Congratulations on the win. Could you kind of talk about the work that went into your second clean sheet of the season in the league tonight, and how your team specifically limited Columbus to just two shots on target?
Pascal Jansen attributed the clean sheet to a balanced performance on both ends of the pitch, reinforcing the need to improve box defending and finishing opportunities, while noting the game provided a fresh start for the third block of the season.
Boys Don’t Cry / Ep 536 / Blue City Radio
Q: Are there meaningful roster changes coming to shake up the open cup lineups?
The hosts suggest strategic rotations to balance freshness with the need to win, with emphasis on leveraging Magno and Malachi Jones while protecting tired starters.
